If you're going to the Long Beach coin show, be sure and take the time to look at the new expanded PCGS Grading Set. We're bringing 28 double row red boxes of coins (over 1000 coins.) The popular sets...say Buffalo nickels for example, will have coins grading from AG03 to MS67. There will be multiple examples of each grade, so for Buffalo nickels there are 3 or 4 Fine12s, 3 or 4 Fine15s, 6 or 7 MS65s, 5 or 6 MS66s and 5 MS67s, etc.
We'll also have numerous examples of doctored coins. And we'll have numerous examples of "original toning" and "questionable toning." And we'll have the extensive PCGS counterfeit "collection."
We're displaying the newly expanded PCGS Grading Set for your benefit and enjoyment. The set will be displayed in it's own separate room, complete with display cases and grading lights. It will resemble an auction lot viewing room. At this Long Beach, the grading set room is upstairs to the right, next to the Heritage auction lot viewing room.
We'll also be displaying the PCGS Grading Set at upcoming major shows. And what you see at Long Beach is just a minor preview of things to come.
See you at Long Beach!

Thank you!
This show is sounding better and better every day.
I wish I could be there to see that.
I knew it would happen.

The "Silver Dollar" show in St. Louis in october.
Thanks for the info...

This comes easy to you doesn't it?
You'd complain if someone offered you a $100 bill.
BETTER YET, why don't you guys use this to tee off an expanded "coin grading" on THIS website. Along with the text of how to grade, a photo grade example of each coin series would be over the top. Take the best representation of each grade in the series with a large blow up of both reverse and obverse. Also you could do the same with counterfeits, clips, grease dies, and the list goes on and on.
PUMP IT UP!

me too!
I did.
Did you spend enough time with the set to judge how it compares with your own grading? In another thread a while ago, MrEureka made a recommendation on how to improve grading in certain areas, including colonials. Based on what you saw, do you think that there's room for improvement in that area, and would refining the grading set help? What about other series?
